Trump should NEVER be referred to as "a convicted felon" WITHOUT ADDING "and an adjudicated rapist." [View all]

The entire "AMERICA ELECTED A CONVICTED FELON" thing is still a mind-boggling, incomprehensible twist of fate.

And maybe it's just me, and my values, but the fact that he raped E Jean Carroll bothers me more than the felonies.

And the fact that 26 other women credibly accused him of sexual assault.

I assume there are tens of millions of people in America who don't have mothers, sisters, wives, girlfriends, or any other women in their life that they claim to care about.

Because if they did, please explain to me...OTHER THAN MAGAts believing Trump when he says "I couldn't have POSSIBLY raped her because she wasn't hot enough for me to fuck"...HOW can ANYONE look at this vile pig, this monster, who assaulted, humiliated and intimidated TWENTY SEVEN WOMEN?

I have a hard time chalking it up to "they just don't give a shit."

But in the absence of "understanding it," I will never refer to Trump SIMPLY AS "a convicted felon."

The two impeachments were largely symbolic, since McConnell blocked Trump's conviction and removal on both.

And who knows, maybe...even though it's light years away from legit...Republicans will just wipe their asses with the rules one more time and "expunge" the records of both impeachments.

But let's be clear on one thing. Trump is a convicted felon AND a rapist, and we should NEVER fail to "credit" him for BOTH.
